    BEV in Florida

    Last winter I used StarChoice while wintering near Tampa, FL. This coming winter I hope to return to BEV, as I understand more TP's are now reaching mid Florida. Am I correct or is the service still minimal for that area? Any help much appreciated....Florida SnowBirdy

    BEV reception Florida

    Can someone confirm that the US networks[ Boston] are now available on N3 for the southern US. I understand that TSN is now available and hoping more channels are becoming available for the southern fringe of the foot print. THANKS

    *Choice signal strength

    Iceberg...I have the 315 and 205 two room receiver set up. The info you gave me re signal is for the HD? On my remote under OPTIONS I... use the 6-3-1 steps for signal....I don't have the 6-0-5. Is 299 the channel to start with? Is it the weakest transponder?? my 3rd question..is the skew...

    *Choice signal strength

    I recently set up my 75e StarChoice dish [Florida, Tampa Bay] and I am wondering the correct sequence re peaking best signal strength. Locked on to satellite doing azimuth then elevation then skew...{average 70%} and would like to go higher %....is that the sequence to go for peak reception...

    *Choice..losing channels

    No HD receivers, connect direct with the dish..no switches. I think my problem is perhaps more wind related. Observing the dish in gusty winds, the dish shakes a little, maybe just enough to mess up the reception. I'm going to relocate the dish to a more stable fixture. Re the LNBF and the 4...

    *Choice..losing channels

    I'm thinking of repeaking the dish to see what happens. I'm losing the US networks, most of CBC and CTV. Get TSN solid and a few others OK with no problems. I have the 75e dish. Sunny days and I no problems, not rain fade. Signal on average runs around 70%...thanks.
